Why does vaginal pain occur after sex?

People often say: Harmonious married life is a great guarantee of a happy life. Therefore, sexual life is very necessary for married couples. However, some female friends experience vaginal pain after intercourse. This situation not only adds a certain amount of mental pressure to themselves, but also brings great inconvenience to male friends. What are the causes of this pain? What should I do if this happens?

Cervicitis: It often occurs after frequent sexual intercourse, childbirth, miscarriage or surgical injury, and is caused by bacteria invading the wound. First, rule out cancer. Chronic cervicitis without cancer can be treated with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution sitz bath, followed by antibiotic suppositories placed deep in the vagina, or electrocautery, laser, or cervical conization.

Vaginal dryness: Any factors that can lower estrogen levels and increase progesterone levels can cause it. For psychological vaginal dryness, just avoid such emotional lows. As for the problem of low estrogen levels, appropriate estrogen supplementation or the use of external lubricants can help improve symptoms.

Urethral caruncle: It is mostly related to chronic inflammation of the vulva or chronic irritation, such as masturbation, friction of underwear, moisture of the vulva and repeated wiping with toilet paper. For smaller lumps and mild symptoms, just apply estrogen ointment. For large caruncles with severe symptoms, laser or surgery can be used to remove them.

Vaginismus: Involuntary, intense, spasmodic contractions of the vagina before or during sexual intercourse. The vast majority of them are caused by psychological factors. First, psychological counseling should be used; second, levator ani muscle exercises should be performed 3 times a day, each time for 15 minutes; third, vaginal dilation should be performed; finally, sexual intercourse should be gradually resumed.

Abnormal sexual life often brings great trouble to both men and women. For example, women experience pain after sexual intercourse, which seriously affects their normal couple life. This situation may occur due to psychological effects, or it may be due to organic diseases. Therefore, this situation should be diagnosed and treated in time.
